1. Comment - Windows Phone 7 Series is a lost cause

   (Feb 17, 2010 - 5:22 PM)

   "IF", and I do say if, Microsoft can leverage their gaming platform "xbox live" then they already have leverage. From reading all the hoopla, which is warrented, about Apple's app store, it's games that are driving it. And to say that Windows desktop has no impact on phone sales I think is misguided. RIM's play was integration with Exchange that got it where it is. Who owns Exchange, that would be Microsoft. The "Windows" brand, tarnished or not, still gives leverage when the hottest selling computers, netbooks, are mostly shipped with it on it. The Phone has it's place, IMO, along side something like a netbook. And "If" my phone seamlessly works to integrate both, that's a good thing from a consumers point of view.

   Well said. People seem to forget the "Smartphone' market, as described today, is still in it's infancy.

   Wasn't it "demoed well" that got the first iPhone all the press. WP7 UI is innovative; and to claim that they've lost a race that is just starting is ridiculous. Wasn't the internet lost to Netscape or Spreadsheet (lotus), Wordprocessor (Wordperfect) lost to Microsoft before. Wasn't Linux, like Android, going to kill Windows. The one thing we should have learned about Microsoft over the years is that when it comes to industry changing tech, they get back in the race in a big way.
   
   If there's supposedly Billions of phones in use and the iPhone is still only accounting for millions, I'd say Apple hasn't won anything yet. And 60K plus phones a day will still take a long time to equal a dominant market share.
   
   So, why don't we give Microsoft a chance to show what they can do before saying game over in the first Quarter of a 4 quarter game.

4. Comment - McAfee Joins Anti-Microsoft Security Chorus

   Because they don't want to spend the R&D dollars to figure it out themselves. They'll just whine so that Microsoft is forced to supply a documented api; at which point everyone will know how to do it and in return McAfee and Symantec will sell more product due to the known risks created by that api.
